Something funny that has been happening is I keep introducing
myself as Chase, but so is everyone else haha. I found out that my p
day is on Friday, but I won't have one this week because of the short
week.
I still haven't unpacked yet I've been so busy today! I do have
my companion. He is from Colorado and is also going to the Santos
mission, which is pretty crazy. We met 10 others at the airport and went
as a little crew; it was sick. One of the Sisters was able to speak
with the Brazilians on the plane and placed a Book of Mormon. It was
ridiculous how good she was. I haven't showered or changed out of my
clothes yet and I just want to take a shower so bad.
I think so far
that I am doing well with what I've learned with the language and i think
a lot of the instructors like me because I try a lot and participate
more even if its wrong; they like that I'm trying to speak. So far the
food has been decent; nothing too special, but nothing too bad.
The spirit
is so strong here and we have already taught as a group an investigator that
could speak English. It was really a great experience. The people here tell me that Santos is really beautiful and the
people are very sweet and welcoming, which is good.
All of the
missionaries that have been here awhile heard me talking about football
and they asked me how each of their college football teams were doing. I had like a group of like 10 - 15 American missionaries asking and I was just fueling the fire, haha. Now they all know who i am after only
being here for like 6 hours and are helping me out which will be good. I'm rooming with some Brazilian missionaries and I struggle figuring
out what they are saying but we can kind of communicate.
I love you
guys and look forward to hearing from you. Tell McKaylee and Coulson to
have fun at homecoming and let me know how Coulson does in his game
against legacy.
Love,
Elder Thurgood
